We explain possible outcomes ahead of the engagement and where we expect both sides to contribute to the success of the work. We don't force our participation in the awarded program - we're there only if you want us there. As a statement of our success, most all of our past clients continue to work with us, even where the efforts did not result in an award (the first time).

WHY USE FSA?
1. We know how to price the work, configuring the cost structure so that it passes the most stringent examination. While there are rules and regulations that govern how the various forms of NDF contracts can be priced, the contractor usually has discretion in how to present its price to the government or NGO. The proposer should assume transparency and recognize that costs may need to be justified; shown to be realistic, reasonable, and have a sound basis-of-estimate.
2. We are exceptionally strong technical writers who understand and can describe the science to USG/NGO reviewers effectively.
Decades of experience in process development, clinical operations manufacturing, and regulatory gives us a strong advantage in working with your team. We mesh the Technical Proposal and the Business Proposals seamlessly, the way the reviewers expect to see it.
3. You have our undivided attention from start to finish.
We limit the number of programs we take on so we maintain the same exceptional project team throughout the process. This is the case and especially important where capture team transitions to project management. You are not supporting overhead and we’re not looking to keep people busy by plugging them into projects.
4. You only use us for what you need to win.
There are no extra requirements or long-term commitments for our assignments. We bill by the hour at rates that make sense. No bonuses or large upfront deposits. And we use templates adapted over decades of winning proposals to improve the efficiency of the capture plan.
5. We vet the opportunities.
Knowing the details ahead of deciding to apply resources to a proposal: Funding limits, Incumbent strength, number of potential bidders, past performance, and the issuers track record with similar contracts / programs are among the areas examined.
6. We win.
For the projects we take on, we have an exceptional track record of bringing them in. Ahead of the engagement, you can check the figures.
